Minor UTI?

So past 2 days I’ve experienced a burning when I pee. Nothing extreme. No foul odor and my pee is totally clear.

No itching either. So I’m doubting a yeast infection.

My question is, is this something I can take some Azo for and it may clear on its own?

I know UTI’s typically require antibiotics but it seems so incredibly minor with no back pain or dark urine. I’m not even sure if it is a UTI.

To answer the inevitable question, there is very little chance of me having an STD. One partner my whole life, so unless my husband’s fooling around I’m solid lol.

I’ve had severa UTI’s as a kid and this just seems like nothing comparatively so I’m not sure if I should make an appointment or not?

Part of me wants to give it a day or 2 but also it’s Thursday, so weekend coming up that’s a dangerous game to play lol. I don’t have a locally primary physician yet. Just my OB, so I would just have to call around to get an appointment tomorrow.

I’ve had mild UTI feeling symptoms clear up on their own many times, personally. But you’re right, UTIs are also something that can go from 0 to 100 so quick! I’m not a natural remedies for everything person at all, and I personally notice a difference from cranberry juice or supplements that I do not think is just placebo.

I do have a Teledoc service through my insurance so if I get into the weekend and it seems to worsen I could always go that route.

I’m not a big fan of over the phone doctor usually (just seems janky) but in this situation I would do it. Idk may try the Azo test strips though I have no idea how accurate those things are.

I’m not sure, but I would guess (and this is totally just a guess so please don’t take it seriously, I didn’t even google) that based on how quickly you get an answer when you have a urine test there is just some dip test they’re doing and then they send it for actual analysis of which bacteria it is afterward (I’ve had them change my antibiotics a couple days later to be more effective when that comes back). So, also just guessing, it seems like the Azo test strip could be very similar to whatever initial test they do.

Good point. Reminds me though I guess I could ask my dad. Lab tech. Duh! Silly me. I bet he would know how those tests operate.

He told me a lot of times urine drug tests done at the hospital are often as simple as the test you can get at home yourself so it makes sense this would translate to this as well.

At this point it sounds like you can DIY treatment. Buy a bottle of the 100% pure cranberry juice - not the juice blend, or concentrate stuff, or stuff with added sugar. Drink that plus a ton of water to help flush out your system. Usually I’m able to combat UTIs that way without having to go to the doctor. (I usually have to cut the cranberry juice with a little water because it is strong and very tart.)
